Molly's Zone

Christmas time has come and gone, and as we are coming around the corner to another year...I can't really let "Molly's Zone" finish out 2017 without telling how my Christmas celebrations went. The two days were spent with my Mom, as we cooked Christmas Eve dinner together, (most of it the day before because she had to work a bit on Christmas Eve). I always love spending time with my mom, and the holidays are always so peaceful and fun for both of us. We opened gifts Christmas Eve night, and my most favorite present was a set of purple luggage. I only had one  little suitcase that I took to Spokane with me in October, so now it is nice that I will have a full set to bring along on my next adventure (and, plus it's purple...have I mentioned that is my favorite color?) I also got a lot of nice new clothes and jewelry, but most of all I just enjoyed being with family. Mom and I usually have a small family dinner, but that is perfectly fine with us. If there'...

A hello from Heaven One of life's little treasures A testament of love that cannot be measured A sweetest sign of eternal love With two angels smiling, beaming proudly from up above A hello from Heaven A smile planted on my face As fleeting memories of childhood rush me Those memories immortalized by His grace As I feel their loving arms forever around me A hello from Heaven Mamaw Ruby thank you Irene, I love you and give you hugs and kisses too I appreciate you both for still loving me as much as you do Thank you for watching out for me And cheering me on so very loudly Jesus, you've blessed me beyond measure A hello from heaven, so unexpected yet pure A true blessing that helps to heal my aching heart for sure

Many moons ago, I don't think I ever would have thought of telling someone, "I'm really happy with who I am". I used to live with a most negative attitude about life, because all I ever did was fight so ever defiantly to be what I considered to be "normal". I lived to tell myself I had one goal in mind: I wanted to fit in. I was determined to be popular. I so badly wished for a way out of my teenage misery but, no matter how hard I tried or how long I searched, I could never seem to find. A loophole. A safe space. An area that was free from the negative toxicity of the chains that seemed to surround my daily life. No, I could never quite reveal that "safe space", or even prove its existence. That is, until now. Defining myself requires a lot of thought. I have grown to be grateful to even have the life I have; sure cerebral palsy is not an ideal situation but I choose to feel blessed about it. I wanted to share today the reasons why I now ...

How do you want to walk along your path? Do you want to tell the tale of a soul with a reason? Or simply tell a story of someone whose joy lasts only for a season? Will you cave under the pressure and give into society? Or live as your clumsy self, and dance through adversity? Are you someone who will always be shy, or are you going to be loud? The tale of a survivor's spirit weary, but still be proud A life that's present, alive, with faith shining bright A future that sets before you, so hold on tight How do you want to walk along your path? Will you cave under the pressure and give into society? Or will you follow Him, and dance through adversity The choice is yours, with plenty of tries there is no failing Live a life worth living, and tell a story worth telling What kind of story are you writing? Will you cave under the pressure and give into society? Or will you do your best, and dance through adversity? Clumsy. One word I use to describe the essence ...
